Just noticed the great prices on Carminas irrespective of sales. There must be a catch here on the States side, yes? Duties usually applied? But the conversion prices are as good as any sale price here in the US. Plus great selection.

The catch is you get great service to go along with the great prices. Shhhh... don't let anybody know that I told you.

What am I missing?

Very very unlikely duties if you choose USPS route. Catch for me is I order brown shoes but somehow every shoe I actually receive is green

Might be risky. Some people size up from Rain to Forest, especially if Rain is snug. Here's my size reference (notice, I have wide-ish feet). Please feel free to e-mail us for specific fitting advise. sales@skoaktiebolaget.se

Carmina
Carmina Rain: UK 11 - very good fit, the best of all the Carmina lasts for me
Carmina Soller: UK 11 - slight heel slippage
Carmina Detroit: UK 11
Carmina Inca: UK 11.5
Carmina Forest: UK 11.5 - good fit although the instep could be a little roomier for a great fit
Carmina Simpson: Could probably squeeze into a UK 11.5 or UK 12 but in all honesty, not a good last for me, I avoid it because of my wide-ish feet and high instep
